Help! Lost kitty

[CathyBogart]

My brother adopted a 6-7 month old cat today. Through a freak accident the kitty escaped and took off. I spotted him about 90 minutes ago, but he was too scared to come to me and I lost track of him after a few minutes.

What can we do? Fliers have been posted all over the neighborhood. The kitty was wearing a collar and ID tag, and he is microchipped, but he doesn't know us and he doesn't know the neighborhood. He must be so scared and frantic...

Food has been left out for him, and my brother is out searching with a flashlight and some yummy chicken....but if anyone else has any suggestions we'd love to hear them! I'm so worried...

Hoodini bolted out the door today too!!! John just spotted him right now and so far all I can suggest is the yummy treats! *sigh* Im praying that we find both our missing kitties!! *HUGS*

Goodness, I have no suggestions since everything you're already doing I would've suggested. Prayers are going up, though, that you both find your kitties quickly, easily and safe and sound.

So sorry to hear of your dilemma. It is one of the worst feelings ever to have a lost pet. You are pretty much doing everything you can. It is good that he has a collar. I remember when my cat Moose got out one night. I was up every half hour looking for him at the back door. He wasn't much for being held but when he came back in I hugged and hugged him and I think he realized I missed him.

Do you have one of those humane traps, or could you perhaps borrow one, and set it with some really stinky and tempting food to lure the kitty back? It worked for Freedom a couple of weeks ago when one of her kitties escaped.
